I merely suggested that a high national debt could have a potentially negative impact on the American economy. I also never claimed that "Bush ruined the economy." Fortunately, he doesn't have the power to do so, at least, not directly.

I think you're misinterpreting what I am saying based on your stereotypes of "liberals." I'm not liberal though. Strawman?

In addressing the liberals... Why do you folks care if there's a high national debt? I thought you were all about deficit spending. Keynesian economics anyone? Admittedly, the money would be going to public services, but a lot of it is, and things aren't getting any better.
